In one night, I lost everything.

My ship, my crew, my freedom, and nearly my life-but none of it hurt as much as losing my lover Scarlett. Her scorned fiancé now holds her captive, and unless I do something, she'll be forced to marry the devil within a week. Remaining undetected with a curse eating me alive proves damn near impossible, but at least our plan was simple: get in, get Scarlett, and get out. There's only one obstacle.

Her.

Scarlett planned this, from her capture to my escape. She's exactly where she wants to be, and it's for more than just revenge-if she plays her cards right, she'll obtain what we've been after for years, breaking our curse and freeing our souls.

It all hinges on a Nochebuena ball, and a single dance.

If only that dance wasn't with the Devil.

A Dance with the Devil is a short, fast-paced prequel to the Curses of Never Series: dark fantasy retellings inspired by Peter Pan and The Little Mermaid. Perfect for fans of Black Sails and Pirates of the Caribbean, these LGBTQ+ friendly adult reimaginings are filled to the brim with monsters, magic, and pirates. This installment contains language, violence, and explicit sexual content.
